Well, for those of you who haven't been keeping up with my garage build, here's the link http://www.caraudiojunkies.com/showt...-s-Garaj-Mahal. It's pretty much been taking up all my time, money, and energy...but now that it's weather-tight, I'm getting in the mood to get back to the car audios.

It's funny, I've been driving around with my door panel off for months now. I put the handle back on just so passengers can open the door for themselves, but it looks rater ridiculous. It does, however, give you a sense of how much space I have behind the factory grill





I was curious what it would take to build a small enclosure that could be mounted to the door skin itself, so I took the handle mechanism off and mounted it directly to my worktable





Next, I used some of the foam board I had to contour the sides of the enclosure





and here it is mocked up

Next, I covered it in strips



and then covered it in tape






This now gives me a shape to fiberglass and work off of...








...whenever I get around to it

Damn, that's too big for a 2.5......what ya gonna put in there?

[BigAl205]

It's just a shell to get started with. I can make it any size I really want, but both mid and tweet will go there.

Frog GB10 and 25 right? That looks like a big ole WIN.

Thanks, Kendal. I've been meaning to get a round tuit for quite some time.
